If interested in wagering on any plays for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakerss. My Over/Under Totals are: Welterweight bout: Keita Nakamura (+750) vs Tom Breese (-1165) Gabe’s Thoughts: This seems like a match-up where the UFC is serving Nakamura up to Breese so he can add another highlight to his reel. Nakamura is generally tough and durable; not an easy fighter to put away, but I think that stylistically, he will have a tough time surviving against Breese. I think seven and a half minutes is enough time for Breese to put the Japanese fighter away. He is undoubtedly the superior mixed martial artist heading into the contest and I expect him to dominate and score another T/KO finish inside the Octagon. Hopefully he win earn a bigger fight his next time out, as this match-up is arguably a step down for him following his previous outing. Gabe’s Call: Breese by T/KO (strikes, 1:43 round 1) Gabe’s Recommended Play: Over 1.5 rounds (-170) 2.55u to win 1.5u Middleweight bout: Brad Scott (+145) vs Krzysztof Jotko (-165) Gabe’s Thoughts: I expect this to be a closely contested match-up and I think it is a fight that hits the judges’ scorecards for a decision much more often than not. At its current offering price of -190, I think there is enough value to pull the trigger on it for a play. I think the majority of this bout will take place against the cage and on the mat, with both middleweights having their moments. As for my official, i lean back and forth, but at the moment am sligtly leaning towards Jotko. Gabe’s Call: Jotko by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) Gabe’s Recommended Play: Over 2.5 rounds (-190) 2.85u to win 1.5u
